Load of fluff again from tigger. Diametric change from 5 alternative sites, though; 'rudderless between 2,countervailing tides.'
Why go through the hassle of planning, designing, financing and building a new stadium when we can simply utilise the ‘fence end’ to "to successfully deliver on (the) overall strategy for the club"?
I think Friday was the 7th working day after the petition was issued, so it seems reasonable to assume that the issue has been settled as it hasn’t been published in the Gazette.As the petition never got published, HRMC are satisfied that the debt no longer exists; we either paid it or contested it & won or the cheque crossed in the post.
As the club never officially acknowledged the petition, can we expect them to officially comment on it's withdrawal?
Thohir coming in changes the outlook for Kassam. Never before have we had someone on the board with the finances of Thohir, a man who could actually afford to buy the stadium.
Kassam wants rid of the stadium as long as he can build his houses on the over flow carpark. He will be much more willing to play ball if he knows the club could realistically buy it.
I really don't know what to make of the current situation. Are we actively looking for another site or not? What's to stop FK paying lip service and stringing us along for seven years so, at the very least, he's got a tenant with no option but to renew an agreement loaded in his favour?
Work prevents me from attending the Oxvox meeting tomorrow. However, should someone from Oxford City Council be there (and it's an oversight if they've not been invited) could someone please ask the following question for me:
At the Oxvox meeting in January Bob Price told us that the Council were deciding what action to take against FK regarding the priory. Exactly what action has been taken in the 10 months since that meeting?
That one is on my list of potential Q's to ask.....consider it done @outsidetheboxI really don't know what to make of the current situation. Are we actively looking for another site or not?

Supplementary question @Sarge , how about using the Freedom of Information act and sending a request to OCC to reveal what action has been taken/planned/shoved down the back of the couch?That one is on my list of potential Q's to ask.....consider it done @outsidethebox
